In some places fixed-size buffers can't store formatted string.
If it be happen then git die.

Jonathan Tan, Jeff King thanks a lot for your help.
This is really my first patches. Your help is invaluable.

The buffer steps_msg[32] is too small.
Translated "(roughly %d step)" string can not be located in the buffer.

Solution: using xstrfmt which dynamically allocates memory.

Dummy solution: just increase steps_msg size but is not safe.
That feels pretty hacky, though. In practice the set of translations is
contained, but it doesn't have to be (and certainly nobody would notice
if a new translation was added with a longer name until a user
complained).

Reproduce bug: "LANG=ru_RU.UTF8 git bisect start v4.9 v4.8" on linux sources.

stop_progress_msg() is rarely used and is not demanding to
performance. Use dynamically allocates memory.
